Newly released emails show close contact between Sarah Ferguson, former Duchess of York, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after his 2009 jail release. Messages show Ferguson called Epstein a “legend,” joked “just marry me,” praised his kindness, and sought financial help, including an urgent £20,000 rent loan. Records say she visited him in the US with her daughters soon after his release, with aides arranging flights. Emails also reference a proposed business venture in which Epstein would hold a majority stake. The documents show association and financial ties but do not accuse Ferguson of involvement in Epstein’s crimes. (PC: India Today)
